It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about Nintendo's problem with older consoles. Anyone who's owned a Nintendo console with internet access knows that Nintendo has a bad habit of permanently disconnecting them after a set number of years. For games that rely heavily on internet access, that means they're pretty much unusable now. Along with this, despite willingly disabling the online features, Nintendo still advises against using unauthorized options to reconnect the platforms to the internet. This is solely so you'll have to buy new ones, because obviously that's how they make money. Although I like Nintendo games and consoles, this is a really awful thing to do to your consumers. Not everyone can afford to buy the new things, and they could still make money through previous consoles if they didn't get rid of that option. It would cost almost nothing to keep the online shops open, and they could still earn money from people who prefer the older consoles. But instead, they just shut them down entirely and just about lock the consoles and games. This is kind of silly anyways, considering it could still make them money; and it's a weird choice from a business standpoint when people are still using the older ones. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Hopefully this isn't a permanent thing and they'll eventually fix the older consoles, but I doubt it. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

New day, new post! For today's blog post, I will be rating the gacha systems in five gacha games that I play. These ratings will be out of ten, and I'll also be giving a reason for each one. Keep in mind these are just my opinions, too. So, let's get on with it! Enjoy! 

1.) Twisted Wonderland - 7/10 - This one is a little tedious, but not really impossible if you try hard enough. Plus every ten pull will have an SR!

2.) Genshin Impact - 8/10 - This one is also a bit tedious, but the pity system is a godsend; especially compared with other gacha games. 

3.) Reverse: 1999 - 10/10 - Very good! High rates and a lot of high level characters! Some events even let you choose which characters you want. 

4.) Obey Me! Nightbringer - 8/10 - Not bad, especially since getting rare cards is pretty easy. But it takes a while to earn enough points for a full ten pull. 

5.) Fate/Grand Order - 3/10 - Bad. Very bad. Not good. It takes way too many Saint Quartz for one ten pull, and it's just about impossible to get even a four star character. Have fun using those low level characters from the free section for a while, because you only get one guaranteed five star character. And the pity system is awful in this as well.

Why can servants be summoned as multiple different classes in Fate/ Grand Order? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! This question is actually rather simple to answer. A servant's class is based on their strengths in life. Because of this, some servants can be summoned as several different classes. For example, Astolfo can be a rider or a saber because he was a sword fighter and knight in life. I think this is rather interesting, and can be useful during the times when only one servant of each class can be summoned. I know this post isn't very long, but I wanted to talk about it to clear up any potential confusion. As always, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about resources in Cozy Grove. That specifically means I'll be talking about things you need to collect. Things like wood and various foods can be collected while you're playing the game. However, some quests require a large amount of resources. It's usually wood, but sometimes it's also food. Firstly, leaf piles usually hold branches and mushrooms, but will also occasionally have softwood or hardwood. Digging up dig spots will usually give you different foods too, and you can get either type of wood from skipping stones into the clams. If you collect a lot of branches, don't sell them. You can talk to Maker Bear and craft them into better wood. Along with this, you can get different foods from burning mushrooms, nuts, or fruits with Flamey. You can collect wood, branches, fruits, and nuts from growing specific trees. Growing flowering bushes and berry bushes can also give you branches and wood, as well as flowers and berries; depending on which bush you plant. It's a good idea to pick an area and plant a lot of useful plants there. If you have too many pieces of a specific type of wood, you can recycle it into a lesser version by talking to Francesca. It's important to ruffle leaf piles and stock up on resources, because the quests that need them happen relatively frequently throughout the game. There are a lot of ways to get these resources in the game, including upgrading Mr. Kit's shop. But, I wanted to talk about the important ones for now. Some of these quests take days if you don't have the right items, and that can be pretty tedious; which is why I wanted to make this post. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's post time! For today's blog post, I will be talking about my thoughts on servants in the Fate series. Firstly, I don't understand why they had to be based on real historical figures if they were going to change them anyways. I think they should've just made a fictional world with fictional history and that's it. Along with this, the whole thing is a bit confusing. It can be seen on multiple occasions that no matter what age they're summoned as, they always remember their full lifetime. So why aren't they always summoned as adults instead, so they at least keep the size and strength advantages? Why are they summoned at different life stages when most of them would be adults anyways? That being said, I do appreciate keeping most of the historical facts accurate. Of course some of it is pretty different, so it's not great for people who don't already know the history behind the servants. But there are neat Easter Eggs for people who do like history. As much as I complain, I do like the characters and servants. I just hate them messing with real life history. I do like history and adding twists and "facts" that aren't true is damaging to people who don't know the history. It just spreads misinformation and false opinions as fact. I think that's why I find it so aggravating. I think I'd like this series a lot more if they were separate characters, or only loosely based on historical figures but given different unique names. Regardless, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!

It's time for another new blog post! For today's blog post, I will be talking about the summoning system in Fate/Grand Order. Of all the gacha games I've played, the summoning system in this one is one of the worst. Firstly, it takes thirty saint quartz for a single ten pull. Sure, it gives you eleven pulls instead, but that doesn't really make up for it. Along with this, there are so many characters that you'll pretty much never get the ones you want. Even on feature banners, it takes hundreds of tries. Not a hundred, hundreds. Multiple. The rates are extremely unfair, and almost all of the characters you get will be the lowest stars possible. Furthermore, some featured summons only run for two days. How can anyone possibly get hundreds of summons in two days? It's nowhere near enough time. It doesn't matter how often you can get saint quartz, you will never get hundreds in just two days without paying for them. Not to mention some characters are locked behind paid only summons. Oh, you like a special five star character but can't afford to buy a digital currency? That's too bad, because you'll never get them then. This is my least favorite gacha system ever. Even four star characters are just about impossible to obtain. Since this game is already years old, I can't imagine it'll ever get better either. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I recommend playing this game only if you really couldn't care less about getting certain characters. Or playing through very word heavy story quests. Regardless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
